    We were really excited to try The Happy Uncles for the first time. I had included a comment when making the booking, but when we arrived it was clear they hadn't read my note. It was also quite hot in the restaurant as there is no AC. From all the courses, 2 were "wow" (the sea bass and the beef). I can't say the same for the others. They weren't bad, but definitely not wow. The complimentary welcome drink and water (still and sparkling) were a really nice gesture. Overall, I didn't find this to be value for money.

    We had high expectations but unfortunately we did not fully enjoy our 8 course dinner mainly due to poor service. No menu was provided so unsure what we were eating as explanation from servers was poor. Very long evening (over 4 hours) with long wait between courses. Highlight was the amuse-bouche. Expensive R5400 for 4 excluding drinks (no alcohol) and service.

    Did the unease about the area set in when we parked in the dark; yes. Were we apprehensive as we looked for the restaurant down the allly; yes. But what an experience! The variety of produce in the different courses & the culinary atistry were amazing. Each and every bite was masterful. We tremensly enjoyed the tea pairing. The dessert will stay with me forever. The passion with which the servers and chef explained and presented were remarkable. Truly worth of a return for the upcoming winter menu. And by the way; we did not miss not being served alcahol. In our opinion it would have taken away from the meal. If you are a foodie you should feel the same.
